Special Education Process & Procedures
This Special Education Process and Procedure Guide is developed to provide staff with guidance on special education processes and procedures. The Dedham Public Schools are committed to fully implementing the regulations and providing services to eligible students with disabilities that are in compliance with all federal and state laws and regulations. Special education is a complex process which is highly regulated by federal (IDEA 2004) and state (M.G.L. c. 71B) laws and regulations. State regulations (603 CMR 28.00) provide mandates on how school districts are required to implement the requirements of the law. The cornerstone concepts of the law require that all public school districts meet the basic provisions of Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) within the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) for all eligible students. This Process and Procedure Guide outlines the procedural requirements of the Dedham Public Schools to ensure full compliance.
